Bicycle water bottle cage with zip-tie attachment

cults3d

This water bottle holder is specifically designed for attaching to a bicycle that doesn't have standard bottle cage screws, or alternatively, for attaching directly to a tube without screws. I strongly advise using ABS plastic for this project. The design prints in three separate components that require gluing together - it's not crucial that the bond be extremely strong. I personally used ABS glue to achieve the desired effect. To further enhance stability, I cut out a small piece of inner tube and attached it to the base of the strap component using hot glue. Fortunately, no support structures are needed during printing. One notable feature is the fully customizable dimensions - I designed this holder specifically for our local store brand disposable water bottles that I frequently refill and which fit neatly in my pocket. To ensure a secure fit, the lower holder should be snugly attached to the bike, while the upper holder should be smaller than the bottle's diameter. The cinch parameter controls how much smaller the upper holder should be. Due to its elastic design, it's essential for the upper holder to have sufficient thickness to accommodate the bottle comfortably.
